Prayers for you and her. My wife came down with Meniere's Disease on her left side in the 90s, and until she had the balance nerve in her left ear sectioned, she had no quality of life at all. It was terrible. She's much better now. Hoping y'all have a great outcome, however derived.
Many of the maladies which develop as we age are a direct function of nutritional deficiencies. We develop them for several reasons, including an increased nutirent demand to keep us going as our body ages and digestive issues which hender the aborption of minerals.
MDs can sometimes help patch the problem with pills or gadgets but at what cost? Medications cause further deterioration on nutrient absoprtion via irritation of the digestive tract as well as other unknown side effects based on the medication.
Nutrient rebalancing takes a few weeks but you're hitting the core of the problem vs. the patch. Having good nutrient status will not only help resolve the issue at hand, but also other issues associated with lack of specific nutrition.

Good luck. Will be praying for your wife. Not sure of her age. I’m pushing 50. Doctor showed me some exercises to do but pretty much said mine would disappear at some point. And after a couple of weeks it did but it honestly sucked until then. Felt like the world was spinning and one day it went away as quickly as it came. Hope the same thing happens for your wife. But it was scary to even move in the moment. Biggest danger is falling because you have no balance whatsoever
That stuffs no fun. I have a dizzy spell that comes once every few months or so. I’ll just be standing there and all of a sudden it feels like the room flips upside down and starts spinning. The things only last 20 seconds to a minute. Then a year ago I started feeling slightly dizzy all the time. And if I am driving down like a bumpy road the dizziness gets worse.
I also went to an ear, nose, throat doctor who found nothing. Then a neurologist who can’t seem to figure anything out. I just kind of deal with it.

I get vertigo every now and then. It is devastating. Mine, when it comes, lasts 7 or 8 hours. Can't walk, puke, sweat, freeze, etc. It's horrible. Feels like the worst drunk you've ever had. Good luck to your wife.
Prayers sent.
I'll offer my anecdotal advice. Coworker had this, and was told he had way too much salt in his diet. When he adjusted the diet, the issue alleviated greatly.
The explanation was that the balance in your ear is controlled by various chambers with fluid, and too much salt affected the flow. (In very simple terms)

Inner ear doctors hit the salt reduction right off the bat. But more serious ailments won't respond to it.
Prayers for you, your wife, and her medical team lifted up ...
Yes, though I haven't had a bout in several years. The last episode was our last Clemson game with Spurrier. I couldn't watch or even listen to the game. My doctor prescribed Meclazine to take during a spell but it never seemed to help.
My daughter, also an inner-ear sufferer, takes it now when she has flareups. It knocks her out and she seems better afterwards. Severe inner ear issues are show-stoppers - miserable.
God bless her. My fear is that I'll be on an airplane when an episode begins. When I feel it coming on, I have about 45 minutes to get to a bed, near a bathroom. The next 6 to 8 hours are brutal.
That's how it was with my wife before she had the nerve section. It was sudden, it was debilitating, and it was daylong.
My girlfriend has it and she says the doctors have said it is crystals in the inner ear getting misaligned. Things that trigger it are dairy products, change in the weather, stress, and too much alcohol. She had a massage a week and a half ago and the abrupt positional changes also triggered it. Normally she is able to control it through proper diet and limiting her alcohol intake. Nothing she can do about the weather. Good luck in finding her triggers and hopefully she will be able to manage it like my girlfriend has.
The Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist will be Running a BMG Test, which Evaluates 2 Major Balance Centers. Please Continue to Pray for Her.
Thank You again for Your Prayers,
Thank You again for Your Prayers,
Alan Shephard had that and it kept him out of space for a decade. He had surgery, which was successful and, thus, later walked on the moon.
In the 1960s, I had an inner ear problem. I couldn't walk straight, hit walls, like I was drunk. It was an awful experience. I have never forgotten it.
Regarding ears, I have to go to an ENT 4 times a year due to an enormous amount of ear wax that builds up in my ears. The ENT tells me that's hereditary.
Thank you everyone for all of your feedback it was greatly appreciated. Crazy Cock 89 wife.
